  • Okies I would like to have more then a few nasty words to the person who said the power never goes out here.


    Okies I'm just grumpy.  LOL


    VERY VERY VERY grumpy.


    I think the aunt is about to visit.  Can I slit her throat?  The Aunt Flo I mean.


    Anyhow we were without power from 11 o'clock last night until 9 this morning.


    We heard a big BOOM, and then a flash.  We just assumed it was another major power surge and didn't call it in.


    So, this morning we hit the store and they had power.  But knew that a few out this way were without.  So, Rob finally called about 8.


    NOBODY had reported it, we were all waiting for someone else to. 


    The pud guys were out quite quickly and had it fixed in about a half hour.  In the meantime...dark is depressing.  LOL


    We started school with no electricity and in the gray.  Can we just say EWWWW???


    LOL


    Samuel and I had some issues with school today.  But he *gasp* managed to get all of his work done the first time in 3 days.  And no I'm not setting him a lot of work.  He just gets very very antsy, and flakes out on me.  And then my mommy patience runs out, and we have to eat lunch, and he flakes out, and never gets back to it.


    Mommy was determined she was going to win today, and she did.  But oh man was it hard to be that cute smiling mommy, instead of the one that wanted to do mean nasty things to her son. 


    Its amazing how much one doubts themselves in this teaching gig.  I had to walk into the bathroom and close the door and hide breathing hard.   And then I had to talk to Rob about it.   And then I had to breathe some more.  LOL


    I waver so constantly between am I pushing them too hard, or is he not getting it, or is he just being a twit, and getting away with it.   Such self-doubt.  *argle*

  • LOL! Love this post because I have been there, all them, a time or two .

    Can you slit AF throat? hahaha! man she wreaks havoc eh?

    Power outtages stink, we go weeks during hurricane weather and it makes me a not so nice person! LOL....

    Homeschooling .... I have 2  HS graduates now and I STILL doubt myself on days! You probably ARE too hard on yourself...Some kids are harder than others... my son and my 2nd daughter made me crazy about doing their daily work, he still does... and my oldest daughter and 4th child, Ashlynn, are and always have been a breeze, they just do it, pretty much school themselves LOL... Just keep taking those deep breathes, don't beat yourself up and add a few more trips out of the house the that awesome shore line you had in your video when your days feel like this.

    On "those" days, we often jumped up, ran out the door, some with or with out shoes LOL, and walked the beach or a park close by to regroup... sometimes a couple times a week, if needed, on those difficult days.

    Hang in there! :)

  • I am sure you're doing wonderfully well as a teacher!
